As a mixer, his credits have grown to include the likes of Prince, Frank Ocean, Jay-Z, Tyrese, BJ The Chicago Kid, Tobi Lou, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, The Game, Leela James, India.Arie, TGT, Boyz II Men, The Weeknd, Ledisi, K Michelle, Chaka Khan, JJ Lin, GEM, Tanya Chua just to mention a few, adding up to 6 Grammy winning albums out of 23 nominated albums.

Great class and insights. Reverb is a difficut concept to grasp and hear in the context off amix. Loved the concept of gain staging your reverbs.

Does the audio to the speakers come from the renderer or thru Dolby bridge back into protools in the ik setup? Do you use the new virtual protools audio routing?
